Virat Kohli officially retired from Test cricket on Monday, sharing an emotional Instagram post featuring his iconic Test cap. Having been a cornerstone of India's red-ball setup for nearly 14 years, the news came as a shock to fans across the world. The announcement was unexpected, with many followers expressing disbelief upon seeing the heartfelt message on social media.
Speculation around Kohli’s retirement began circulating after a media report hinted at the possibility ahead of the upcoming Test series between India and England. While some fans dismissed it as a rumor, it quickly turned into reality. Kohli's exit closely followed Rohit Sharma’s decision to step away from the Test arena, marking the end of an era in Indian cricket.
Two days after Kohli's retirement, his wife, Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma, shared a message on social media. In the post, Anushka said, "That's why only those with a story succeed in Test cricket. A story so long and deep that it doesn't care for the pitch conditions—grass, dry, home, or away."
Anushka Sharma again under the spotlight with her Instagram post
It was not the first time she took to the social media platform to express her feelings after her husband's retirement. The day when the star batter announced his retirement from the format, she posted a message on her Instagram account, which has attracted over a crore reactions.
Sharma shared, "They’ll talk about the records and the milestones — but I’ll remember the tears you never showed, the battles no one saw, and the unwavering love you gave this format of the game. I know how much all this took from you. After every test series, you came back a little wiser, a little humbler — and watching you evolve through it all has been a privilege. Somehow, I always imagined you’d retire from international cricket in whites, but you’ve always followed your heart, and so I just want to say, my love, you’ve earned every bit of this goodbye."
